So.Much.FUUUUUUUUUNNNNNNNN!!!!!!

Really!

Yesterday afternoon I took the kids to the local ice rink, where they take lessons, for free skate time. I rented a pair of skates, too. I figured after watching these lessons for a year, I kinda maybe could get out there and give it a whirl...

And I had So. Much. FUUUUNNNN!!! I had to take it kinda slow, but after my first lap around the rink, I moved away from the wall and really started to skate. I'm sure I looked ridiculous, but I don't care! S & Z skated around and around and came up to me to see how I was doing. Z give me a thumbs-up a couple of times! We skated for over an hour.

Yes, I fell once on my left hip. Seems I'll live, though. I remembered what I saw them teach about how to get back up, and I had no trouble at all - I was back on my feet in no time!

About Me

Lady O grew up on the Upper West Side of NYC, back in the days when it was safe to expect your 9-year-old to take the A train all the way to Washington Heights to school every day - alone. Her teenage-age years found her relocated to the left coast of the vast North American continent. She’s spent decades learning to enjoy granola and sunshine, all the while mourning the loss of descent public transportation, and her beloved American Museum of Natural History.
Her favorite things to do are cooking, reading, walking, relishing Pixar movies and surfing the Internet for useful information. Gypsy loves exotic vacations, and fearlessly studies the maps of the cities of the world, hoping to wander through all of them before her demise.
